Shell Shock cases?

[reverser]

Have any of you tried Shell Shock Technologies two piece cartridge cases? I had never heard of them until today. It seems like a solution in search of a problem. Are they actually better in any way?

No personal experience, but this video by JRB is very interesting:

you can get it in any cartridge you want, as long as it's 9mm.

Cool that you can police your own brass using a magnet, but I am inclined to agree it is a solution searching for a problem.

Still, CADOJ will outlaw the use of brass in ammo in the next few years, so good to find alternatives.

Two piece cases have been around for decades.
The main advantage is the caseheads and primer pocket never wear out.
I don't see the need on 9mm pistols but on rifle cases it could make a resurgence.

Interesting stuff, 9MM brass is so plentiful, it's hard to see that catching on. I don't shoot that much 9MM, and I usually come home with more than I brought.

Being able to pick it up with a magnet....That would be nice!

That made me wonder if the ranges that won’t allow steel cases would even allow it. I guess that’s a question for another time.

I think the steel case rule isn't about the case but about the projectile. A lot of the Russian ammo has a steel case, and a steel jacketed bullet with a copper washing on the outside. They're probably concerned about the backstop at an indoor range vs the steel jacket bullets. If it's outdoor, they're worried about steel bullets hitting s rock and making sparks.
